Member Fang Shih-yu Posted April 27, 2010 Member Share Posted April 27, 2010 Falkor...It's odd, but I hardly ever see you talk about Shaw Brothers films. Did you get traumatized by a Shaw film, so you avoid talking about them? SOCIAL WORKER: "Mr. falkor, show us on the doll where the Shaw film touched you!":tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member slinky Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Elton Chong is the best. P.S. to the OP I saw all of those i do believe and own all of them as well i do believe(too many vhs tapes to count). I like the genre period, so all films of the genre in otherwords.

Member ThunderScore Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 There are a couple of IFD Ninja titles with Pierre Kirby that used footage from Elton Chong movies... NINJA OF THE MAGNIFICENCE and ZOMBIE VS NINJA aka ZODIAC AMERICA - THE SUPER MASTER and ZOMBIE RIVALS... ...I like the Elton Chong titles with Eagle Han as the baddie...

Member kungfusamurai Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Elton Chong isn't easy on the eyes, but he's got some nice Hapkido moves in those Korean flicks he did. My favorite is Deadly Shaolin Longfist (for the fights - I never bother trying to follow the stories) TF3TL_ZRbF8 KFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member slinky Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 To me he is like Bruce Lee in some ways. Main reason is his character. They can try to copy these 2, but i doubt it will ever happen. Mainly because of character as i said. That is mainly what made them looked upon the way they were in my opinion. The fighting and Philosophies is an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member BATTLE AXE 45 Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've seen them all plus a couple of thousand others but why is the real bruce lee up there as a classic?You could have put something like 7 blows of the dragon to test a kung fu movie buff,really.

Guest Markgway Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You can open up your own Dojo now. I'm taking students as I type. Tuition is £6,000 per semester. I'll be taking every class personally. Introductory class will consist of a screening of Shaolin Bollocks. As a lesson I think that speaks for itself...

Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Quick question: What are the best DVD releases for Born Invincible, and Invincible Armour? I've avoided these so far because of the poor copies I have seen for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for dubs you can get the Martial Arts Essentials: Yuen Woo Ping set, BI is full screen but still decent quality; IA is letterboxed also decent quality. I think they are on the same disc so you could just get it through netflix if you want to see them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He distributed them outside South Korea and gave himself the directorial credit! The original directors (Kim Jung-Yong, Kim Si-Hyeon etc) are geniuses!

I've been trying to avoid the "boots" as much as possible, but it is seems near impossible for many titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Interesting I also enjoyed most of Elton Chong's movies. But always thought Godfrey Ho was the genius behind these films. Does this mean all the films directed by Mr. Ho are not necessarily his? Obviously, but is this a big trend in movies with his name on them? GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Are all the Martial Arts Essentials sets dub only? The two that I have are all dubbed, check the reviews on Amazon for specifics, they usually have a quick run down on what's dubbed and if its cropped or letterboxed. As far as avoiding VA I can understand that's why I mentioned Netflix, you could just rent it and burn a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member slinky Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Chia Ling AKA Judy Lee-just to say Godfrey Ho had nothing to do with making these films Yeah i was referring to his cut and pasting. Mainly from ThunderScores post about the ninja movies. From what i know it allowed him to have 4 or 5 movies for the price of one. P.S. Nice to meet you too.

Member Killer Meteor Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 Last Fist Of Fury is only on the list so Falkor can sell it...I assume. I mean, I enjoyed it, but its not even a Z classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member prinnysquad Posted April 28, 2010 Member Share Posted April 28, 2010 I watched Evil Destroyer recently, aka Zodiac America 2. The original film (without the western-actor sections) seems decent - does anyone know what it's called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
